Samsung announces the end of the Galaxy Note series
The company terminated the manufacture of its Galaxy Note line, although it announced that it will maintain certain features
Samsung has canceled the Galaxy Note series of phones although it will keep some of its features, such as the stylus, in other devices. With this change in its strategy it seeks to enhance the S and Z families.
The company presented this week the Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone that, in addition to being the most advanced model of the new device family, incorporates features typical of the Note series, such as multitasking functions, a larger panel and the S-pen stylus.
Galaxy S22 Ultra can be understood as the “heir” to Galaxy Note, a series that debuted in 2011 but was no longer updated last year, despite being the company’s high-end premium bet for the second half of the year. Now, it will be the gap that folding phones will occupy.
“In the short term, our operation will focus on a two-way strategy: the flagship S series in the first half of the year and the innovative folding line in the second half,” Samsung Mobile chief TM Roh said in a statement to Bloomberg. He has also stated that they will maintain this strategy “until there is another breakthrough and we are working hard to make it happen.”
Samsung will focus on the premium segment to fuel growth. It will roll out the Galaxy Note’s salient features to other models, introduce new categories in the Z-series of foldable phones, and even some new form factor in the next three years, according to Roh.
